Guest Vic Abrahamian Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Hi We have 5 editing workstations with Windows XP SP2 and about 15 users who use these 5 workstations. Each user has an External USB drive. Is there a way to force one drive letter for all users that plug in their External USB drives into these 5 computers? For example when a user plugs in their hard drive to PC 1 or PC 2 or PC 3 or PC 4 or PC 5, they should see the same drive letter "O" as their external drive. Currently it seems to be changing on us and it's out of our control. Thank you

Guest JethroUK© Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Re: External USB hard drive, drive letters If they are identical drives i think that would be the default behaviour (you should find most of them identical) - exception being if another type of device (pen drive) has already been installed/identified by one of the machines where it has allocate a drive letter - but in this case you can simply open that particular computer/hardware properties and uninstall the foreign device and then plug in/install your std drive "Vic Abrahamian" <VicAbrahamian@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:774545D6-0E4A-42F0-9FAC-ECCA74A2876B@microsoft.com... | Hi | We have 5 editing workstations with Windows XP SP2 and about 15 users who | use these 5 workstations.
